Abstract

The research and application of digital twin (DT) technology have brought new technical means to the development of many fields. Many problems still exist in the manufacturing process of large and complex products, and the manufacturing industry seeks new breakthroughs. Research on DT workshops provides new ideas for technological innovation in manufacturing. To improve the production quality and efficiency of marine diesel engines (MDE), in this paper, a DT workshop is constructed for MDE manufacturing. A DT-based application framework is proposed, and based on it, physical workshop, bridge module, and virtual workshop are illustrated in detail. In the process of building the DT workshop, an object-oriented DT modeling method and a virtual and real data-fusion method are proposed. Besides the method of virtual workshop construction, the DT-based service platform, and the data interaction mechanism within the physical-virtual workshop are applied in the case study.
